For new requests or questions concerning the Biostatistics (BIOS) Core, please email us at: LCCC_BIOS@med.unc.edu

If you are unsure how much, or how little, statistical or research design input you might need, a good first step would be to meet informally with a LCCC statistician at our Walk-In Clinic. These clinics are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12 to 1 pm. Talking with a statistician at one of these clinics can be a good starting point, and a good way to get introduced to the BIOS Core and our Core services that might be of interest to you.

The LCCC BIOS Core looks to match statisticians with researchers and their projects based on expertise, interest, and availability. Besides LCCC Core Statisticians, the Core also has access to other UNC Statisticians, particularly School of Public Health Statisticians that may be available and interested in collaborating on a particular project.

The BIOS Core is a ‘no-charge’ facility. However, advice on including one of our statisticians on a grant for a certain ‘percent effort’ (i.e. how much and when this might called for and appropriate) is readily available.

Software

Researchers, and particularly other statisticians and data analysts, may be interested in software made available by LCCC statisticians. Please click on the ‘software’ link next to a statistician's name to review what is available and to gain access. Please feel free to return to these pages for possible software updates and additions.
